My eight year old just joined the swim team last week, she hasn't had any swim lessons and I swear I've never really even worked with her on form. How many triathletes would love to have this freestyle stroke?

Yep, totally proud swimmer mama here...

Nice job with the tips. She should be kicking some booty in swimming. ;-)

they learn so much just from watching - it's freaky that way. i bet her mom's got a pretty clean stroke too.

Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left

I bet you're right about watching. Her stroke is a carbon copy of mine. I think I've got a photo somewhere of me swimming in college that looks almost identical. Weird!

You hit the nail on the head... you don't usually see a stroke like that at a triathlon. Certianly starting ahead of the curve in your house. Way to go little fishy!

My mom doesn't know how to swim. That explains my stroke.

Very nice pic.

LOL, my mom doesn't either. Well, she can do the sidestroke. Every now and then she makes noise about having me teach her, but it hasn't really gone anywhere. She's happy noodling around in the pool.
